Hey all! Hope everyone is well! The district is really doing great with a total of 9 baptisms at this point.. that was 8 last transfer and 1 today! The sisters work hard and know how to do missionary work. Elder Richardson and I do our best to figure out what we can improve and work on to become better and to find more people! I have been thinking about missionary work lately and I truly love it! It is such an amazing blessing for me in my life! Yesterday was such an awesome day for whatever reason it really was so much fun even though we didn't have the most success! I am in love with the work!
So transfers came on Wednesday. I feel like this is surely my last transfer in the office. Like last transfer we got to go meet the new missionaries! It was awesome! They looked so bright and so ready! They actually got to talk to one of our Recent converts who was baptized the Saturday before the new missionaries arrived on Monday night! It was so call. We were late but as we walked into the mission home and came around the corning into the living room she was sitting in front of all 9 new missionaries telling them about her experience and about her testimony! She was such a prepared young woman! She is always so excited and happy about the Book of Mormon! So that was a cool and rare tender mercy and experience.. Sitting in the living room of Presidents home and talking with these new missionaries about missionary work! I loved it! Well Elder Cooney has gone home and there are now 4 assistants to the president again. Elder Solomon is still here but the others are Elder Fromm, Elder Hepworth and Elder Johns. Both Elder Johns and Elder Hepworth served as my Zone Leaders in the past and are pretty amazing missionaries. Elder Johns only joined the church about 3 years ago so he is a great example to me and for whatever reason really loves me. It's fun to see them each day at the office and to work with and around them and President McConkie. Missionary work is just that. Nothing but fun! Hardships in the work just make the fun times even more fun! Elder Solomon will be going home this transfer, it's quite a bummer I love that guy! He is just like Sam.. so if you can imagine he's way funny and way hard working! I really love serving with and around him, we have fun. I have some pictures I will send in just a bit; these past few weeks have simply been amazing! We had dinner and a "family home evening" at Sister Kirbys house with her Daughter and the whole Anderson family.. (so 6 of last transfers baptisms!) it was so cool to see them all interact! They just love each other which I was not really expecting!
It has been so amazing to see the faith of the Andersons! He lost his job and his cars and everything just seemed to be going down hill before his families baptisms.. which is not unexpected at times.. Even Sister Anderson had a kidney stone the day of her baptism... They are an amazing family! I love em! In fact we are going to go play football with Zach in about 2 hours... Zach Anderson has not yet been baptized but I know he will, he is an awesome kid.. also like Sam.
Well sorry this letter was so long! I hope everyone is having a good week and that Dad gets the job! I will be praying for you! "Keep watching the 'skies'..."
Love Elder McMurricane
